Bug ID: 73414
Summary: Remove proxyunbannable from sysop
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown

Proxyunbannable is a userright granted to sysops by
[[mw:Extension:AutoProxyBlock]]. But this extension is not used on WMF wikis,
which instead use [[mw:Extension:TorBlock]], with torunblocked as equivalent.
Torunblocked is not granted to sysop, so they cannot edit from tor. However,
for some reason proxyunbannable appears in the listed rights of sysops, with
the description "Bypass automatic blocks of proxies". This led to some
confusion among users. Since it doesn't seem to have any use, it would be best
to remove it.
